I think Ehud may have a point that I had overlooked. My solution to have new
frames always begin with a Frame environment assumes that one always wants a
Frame title on a slide. If I understand Daniel’s suggestion, I think it assumes
that the user always wants some level of nesting of information on a slide.
I suppose there may be times when one just wants a slide without a Frame title.
In such a case one needs some end of frame marker other than a Frame title
environment. I’ve attached an MWE to demonstrate various ways of creating
slides. Not all of these slides would be possible without a separate
end-of-frame marker.
I have to keep reminding myself that other users may have needs different from
mine and that those needs may require different software solutions.
In an earlier email, I had mentioned the way Markdown does it with a new slide
being generated by a slide title Header hashtag (#) as below:
# Slide Title
- Bullet item
- Nested Bullet item
# A New Slide
But, some Markdown slide generators (such as Landslide or Darkslide) require a
separate end-of-frame marker:
# Slide Title
- Bullet item
- Nested Bullet item
---
# New Frame Title
- And so on…
I had always wondered why Landslide and Darkslide would have a frame separator
(---). I had always thought that a new frame title should be sufficient (as it
is with Slidy or Ioslides). But, I can how that is only because my slides
*always* have titles. For those who don’t want slide Titles (and I’m seeing
this more and more), some other way of identifying a new slide is required.
I don’t envy software developers. It must be a bear to try to meet all of the
different needs we end users have.
